The same problem. I bought edition 2015 last fall. It has a power supply problem (electrical problems). I thought it's because of my laptop. He made her crazy, but SMART was ok. Yesterday, it makes noises again and now it does not work. I saw light blue and only a little sound of pcb as start start. I saw that head of player on the Board.It's really a defection from the factory.

It is a slightly different external HARD drive problem. I had my faithful media ATMT bin since my first laptop with XP (2003) and I bought it in 2005. It's a little wobbly as the fan vibrates a lot, but this isn't a problem. What is the problem, is that I have a windows machine 7 who thinks that drive a need to put in shape, but my previous laptop which has vista on it was absolutely no problem to read the files IN ALL and you can open one of them without a hitch. I tried to run CHKDSK I:\I (it is labeled as the I drive :) and 7 claims that it is in the format RAW. I had a look at CHKDSK on my old machine and it is in FAT32, I since changed it to NTFS, but seems to have no effect. I also tried the hunting of the drivers for the external hard drive, but I come only through links to Amazon as these things are always available.

I really need to access this drive on my current computer as the older one needs a considerable cooling method to make it work therefore the latest machine. What I also don't understand, it's that it was working absolutely fine on this machine too until quite recently. He worked on it that I need, but have not been accessed for a while and so solutions in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for your time.

Your drive has reached its copy by date and it works on time taken (if he is stil)

If this does not work on another PC then it's probably dead.

You can try the utility disk SeaTools from Seagate to check and see if it can detect and report on the drive

I recently purchased a 1 TB STOR. E partner HDD and it worked without any problems on my laptop Macbook Pro which has only USB 2.0 ports.

A few days ago, the HARD drive has been disconnected from the laptop without ejecting first, and now it isn't recognized more than my laptop.

I tried on a PC Windows with USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports and discovered that it is recognized when I plug in the port 3.0 but not on version 2.0.

What should I do to have the HARD drive works again with USB 2.0?

Many thanks in advance,Eduardo

Stor.E partner HDD needs maximum power of my 900.The USB 2.0 port provides 500mA justIf you can connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports using a USB cable in YOr another option: connect a USB hub with external power supply between the HARD drive and the USB 2.0 port

I have a problem with my external HARD drive. All of a sudden it stopped working. When I connect it to my laptop, it will not work.

Please tell me how I could save my data on the disk. Thank you

The HARD drive has two USB plugs?

Perhaps it needs more power, then connect the two connectors and see how it goes.

I use a Sony with Windows vista laptop. I just got a 500 GB Hitachi external hard drive today. It was detected after that I connected, but there is no way that I can access the hard drive and save the files it contains. I tried to go to the administration tool and tried to change the letters of readers and paths, but this isn't an option for me (he is gray and I cannot click on it). It showed that the disk is healthy but unallocated. Could someone help me please? I really need to back up my laptop using this hard drive external. Thank you. Irene

My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives aerror in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button hisgives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .Windows can not access the disk".".

Finally, I used my Toshiba external hard drive on my MacBook Pro in December. I want to keep all my photos, and I've always been able to add new photos to it and delete the 'old' out of it. I plugged it today to add more photos, and it is not letting me. I went to the sharing & preferences and he read that when he used to say, read and write. I went to the info, and I noticed, it says that the format is Windows. Why he did change and why can't I use it? Can I fix it? Thanks in advance

Looks like you have formatted the NTFS drive that is read-only for OS X. Copy data to another drive, then partition and format the drive correctly for use on a Mac.

I dropped my external hard drive USB plug (WD Passport). I can't open it to access my files at all (many of them that I need for work). Its icon appears in the Device Manager and it evven shows that it works correctly. I can do at home before I have send off by the Geek Squad for $250? I heard a horror story already that turned into $ 1600 to $ 250. I can't afford this. Help, please.

Two points:

1. If you dropped out, it's probably broken, and you will be unable todo something with. Next time, make sure that you have a backup on another mediumfiles that interest you.

2. If you decide to take it somewhere to the service, avoiding the GeekTeam like the plague. In my opinion and that of many others of usHere, the other stores to large surface and they are terrible - the worst places forOpt for the service.
